Ive noticed that when someone adds me as an authorized user to their credit card, i get that cc info in my credit score/report. How does the credit bureau know to match up my fathers authorized user (me) to being me and not some other guy named lamppost? All they ask for at chase is the name to put on the card, no ss or bday or anyhing like that. So how can they match it up to being me? (Its very annoying as some of the cards that im on have very high credit limits and i was previously a/a'd by case for having too much revolving credit...). Anyone have any insight into this? Thanks!
But your father has only one son named Lamppost...
So what? He could still be adding Lamppost from around the corner as opposed to his own son..
